Trevor Noah & the Writers of The Daily Show

Trevor Noah offered a peek at what goes on behind the scenes at The Daily Show and talked about being the new kid on the late night block. He compared their work environment to “working in trauma,” noting that the “time from shock to laugh is the shortest amount of time possible." He went on to call Trump “the most dishonest, authentic person you will ever come across in your life,” and noted Hillary Clinton’s shortcomings in the election, remarking that she couldn’t “get to the emotion that was needed."

Ten Days in the Valley

Kyra Sedgwick joined her all-female creative team from Ten Days in The Valley for an illuminating conversation about their smart take on the TVmystery-procedural. Kyra challenged the notion that a female character has to be likable, and noted the double standard, saying, “Did we ever ask if Walter White was a good father?....We really didn’t. I think [my character] is real. When I’m in people’s living rooms…I want to play a real character.” View the livestream here

Designated Survivor

ABC’s Designated Survivor stars Maggie Q, Kal Penn, Italia Ricci and Paulo Costanzo discussed the striking similarities between their show’s storylines and what’s happening in Washington, noting that they had to adjust the ending of season one because it was “too close” to reality.
